Today we're talking about Experience Points in RPGs (primarily Palladium), some of the common methods for awarding them, and our own preferences as GMs. This round table topic was suggested by one of our Discord users, and provided way more fodder than expected! Thanks for the suggestion, and keep them coming folks!

Thanks to some helpful listeners, we're now back on track to talk about these books in a roughly chronological publication order. That means the next book on our list is After the Bomb! And since the original was a rather slim tome, we're taking this opportunity to talk about both the original and the second edition publication. Many thanks to our Discord friends for helping us get all our publication dates sorted out!
